DIED FRIENDLEss.
Sad End of an Erring Woman.

RoCKLAND, June 27.-Six weeks ago the
attention of the Overseers of the Poor of
this city was called to sick young woman
at place on Crockett's Point. The girl was
found to be sick with an incurable disease,
and was cared for by the town authorities.
She has lived in this city for about year,
and her life here has been one of dissipation
and abandonment. She answered to the
name of Minnie Clifford. One week ago
Tuesday, she died, and was buried the fol-
lowing day at the expense of the city. Just
before she died she +rfss to Ovcrseers of the
Poor that her real name was not Minnie
Clifford. Her given name she said was
Maggie, but could not be prevailed upon to
give her surname. She was born and lived
in New Haven, Conn, her father keeping
shoe store near the colleges. Eight years
ago, when but sixteen years of age, she was
induced to leave home and elope with a
school boy who was about eighteen years
old. She started for school one morning, as
her parents supposed, with her books under
her arm. By appointment she met the
young man mentioned, and the two went at
once to the Old Line Steamboat Company's
dock, and took the morning boat for New
York. After leading a life of disgrace there,
she went to Boston, coming from there to
this city. Since her death it has been learn
ed that the girls real name was Maggie Jen-
ner, and that her story was true. She and
her companion went to New York and lived
there together at cheap hotel until the
young mans money gave out. and they came
to want. She was disgraced and dared not
return to her home. She afterwards left the
young man, who was last heard Of in Texas.
From New York Maggie went to Boston,
where she got into trouble and was forced to
leave the city. Her mother was made insane
by her daughters ruin, and her father closed
out his business and moved away. The girl
was greatly affected as she told the story of
her life. She was 25 years of age at the
time of her death, and though sickness and
dissipation had left their traces, it was evil
dent that once she was handsome woman.
The funeral occurred Friday, the 18th inst.
not a friend of the unfortunate person fol-
lowing the remains of the town pauper to
her unmarked grave.

THE LAND AND LABOR PARTY.
Or. Mcclynn Says 1t 10 Fully Organ
lied In New York.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 27.-Dr. McGlynn yes
terday addressed the Land and Labor Club
OF this city in conversational sort of a
way for about two hours. He referred to
the recent campaign of Henry George in
New York, which, he said, was generally
regarded as nominal defeat, but which
ought to be considered a modern victory.
When 6S,c0O votes could be polled in a me-
tropolis like New York for candidate who
represented an idea, it must be admitted that
the people were alive to their interests and
that Henry Georgeism meant something
more than an empty name. The campaign
in New York. DR.. McGlynn said, had been
carried on without organization and against
two old political parties, as well organized
as armies in the field. Two weeks after the
election. however, the party had been placed
in thorough organized condition, and today
the land and labor was as well prepared for
battle as were the old political parties Hs
said the design was to nominate full State.
county and municipal ticket next time, and
with fighting chance of electing their men.
In Brooklyn and New York there would be
over 100000 votes polled for the Land and
Labor party at the next election, and If the
candidates were not elected they would give
the politicians a pretty strong fight. The
new progressive party would not stop here
but in 1888 would have candidate for Pres
ident in the field who would develop an
amount of strength that would surprise the
country He would not say who that candi-
date would be, but he would be man thor
oughly In earnest in the great cause of hui
manity

An Encounter with Big Bear-Bulld-

Flood-Jubllee Observance at st.
Steohens
rcorresponaence Of the rresa.l

Correspondence Of the Press.l
CALAIS, June "a.
Some days ago Mr.. Josiah Corning Of
Piskehegan, N. b., set an immense spring
trap for bear which he had for some time
observed In the vicinity Of his place. On
visiting 1t the next day 1t was gone and the
heavy chain broken. Following the trail
Mr., Corning after a long and difficult chase
came up with the animal, which straightway
offered battle. A couple Of well aimed rifle
shots dispatched him. The carcass. with the
trap still fast TO the foot was brought to
Moore's Mills where 1t was skinned. The
hide brought S14.5O. The bear was one OF
the largest ever seen in this vicinity and was
estimated to weigh nearly 800 pounds.
A Milltown man has heard Of the Star of
Bethlehem, and although he has not seen 1t
has explicit faith in Its existence. He be-
lieyes that Il presages a second deluge and,
like Noah Of Old Is building his ark in time.
This structure is not so large as its prototype
but then Its architect has his own ideas In
regard to what creatures should be saved and
what allowed to perish, and has planned his
accommodations accordingly. The list Of
creatures who win make the passage In ad-

limited, but cannot be given to the wicked
public at present. The ark Is substantially
built with three rooms below and an attic. It
Is clapboarded and shingled, with a brick
chimney and fireplaees. Its interior arrange
ments are kept jealOusly guarded from the
inquisitive eyes Of the Gentiles. One "mOd-
ern improvement" lies In the fact that this
wonderful craft Is equipped with four stout
wheels which will render IL capable Of navi-
eating the land as well gs the sea. The ad-
milral cannot state the exact date Of the
coming lnundati0n but Is assured that the
time Is close at hand and Is straining every
nerve to be In readiness.
Our Canadian neighbOrs in St. Stephen
were very unfortunate. Having postponed
their celebration Of Queen Vict0ria's jubilee

sHARP's TRIAL.
Continuation of the Case-Tho Pris.
oner Said to be Sick.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Sharp had all the
appearances of being a sick man when he
took his accustomed seat in the court this
morning. He was conveyed to the court for
the first time IN the Sherff's carriage. The
warden Of Ludlow street Jail says Sharp did
not close his eyes last night. A physician
will examine him and the result will be sub
mitted to the court.
The proceedings opened by continuance
of the reading of Sharps testimony before
the Senate investigating committee. The
reading ended at 11.15 O'clock. The District
Attorney announced the prosecution had
rested.
E. Mr.. Parsons began the opening address
for the defence. lie asked the jury if the
prosecution had proved anything beyond the
fact that the aldermen had conspired to levy
tax on every project that came before
them. lie asked ii the prosecution had
proved. even inferentially that the defend
ant had corrupted or debauched these alder
men. The only evidence that there was a
combination was given by Fullgraff, and the
only testimony to show that the Broadway
Surface Road had offered money also came
from Fulgraff, when the latter said De Lacy
said that the Broadway people had offered
S500.0C0 subsidy, and that he had been called
to corroborate the alleged statement Of De
Lacy at McLaughlin's house. He said Col.
Bliss, who acted as Sharp's counsel during
the investigation, would testify that Sharp

Gen. Butler Tells How He Disposed

NEW YORK, June 27.-Gen. B. F. Butler

"The following extract from the Washing

tail Of the war of which the editor and cor

Wayne, in this State. The idea conveyed,

Ter. He can't even assist in the cause of re-
ligion, except in a manner peculiarly his
own. When New Orleans was captured in
May, 1862, in one of its squares were found
large number of church and plantation bells,
which had been donated to the rebels in
New Orleans to be cast into cannon. The
bell of st. Patrick's Cathedral in New Orle-
ans, had been taken from its hangings to the
bell deck, preparatory to lowering it to the
ground to be used for the same purpose.
This property and considerable other of like
sort, being thus dedicated by its owners to
warllke purposes against the United States,
seemed to the commanding general to be
'cOntraband of war; and having been cap
General had many transports returning to
Boston which needed ballast He therefore
ordered these bells and useless cannon and
other material of like sort to be put on
board returning transports, consigned to the
United States Qnartermaster at Boston. The
bell Of st. Patrick's church escaped only be-
cause the clergyman claimed it hadn't been
delivered. He was given the benefit of the
doubt, it being a manner peculiarly his own
in the commanding general to assist in the
cause of religion in that way if be could.
